Description
Abstract (cited)
[FR] Cette étude débute par un corpus critique des statères d’or attribués naguère aux Salasses du val d’Aoste. Associés aux drachmes padanes et à celles de la vallée du Rhône qui font également l’objet d’une description exhaustive, ces monnaies liées par l’alphabet de Lugano forment un ensemble localisé autour de l’arc alpin au moins dès le milieu du IIe siècle av. n. è. L’étude de ces objets repose désormais sur des bases solides. À la lumière de ces données, une mise à jour s’imposait donc dans la définition et l’explication de la transmission de l’alphabet de Lugano. Bien que ces témoignages, essentiellement livrés par des légendes monétaires, soient ténus, ils peuvent être considérés comme l’émergence d’une culture épigraphique au-delà des Alpes nord-occidentales. En pleine conquête romaine, l’écriture contribue ainsi au jeu complexe des évocations et probablement de la propagande politique.
[EN] Coinage and writing in the second iron age around the Alpine arc : a new approach of the epigraphic staters formerly attributed to the Salasses.
This study includes the corpus of the epigraphic gold staters previously attributed to the Salassi who resided in “ Valle d’Aosta”. The alphabet of Lugano connects these coins with descripted drachmas of the Po Valley and other of the Rhone Valley. These currencies form a group which can be situated around the Alpine arc at least from the middle of the second century BC. The description of these objects is presently well-founded. In the light of this improvement, an update was required in defining and explaining the transmission of the alphabet of Lugano. This evidence is mainly delivered by inscriptions on coins which could be slight. It can however be considered as the emergence of an epigraphic culture beyond the north-western Alps. During the Roman Conquest, these inscriptions thus contribute into the complex interplay of political outline, probably of propaganda too.
